FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About IT Services for Financial Firms in New Orleans
Do you handle SEC, FINRA, and state-level financial services compliance?
Yes. We deliver the technical controls and the documentation: encrypted email archiving with proper retention (Rule 17a-4 for FINRA), supervised social media tools, audit logs of system access, BAA-equivalent vendor agreements where applicable, disaster recovery testing with documentation, and the access control granularity that satisfies regulatory exams. We coordinate with your compliance officer during routine SEC/FINRA exams.
Can you support specific platforms — Redtail, Salesforce Financial Services Cloud, Wealthbox?
Yes. We support Redtail, Wealthbox, SmartOffice, Salesforce Financial Services Cloud, Junxure, and other CRM platforms for financial advisors. Plus financial planning software (eMoney, NaviPlan, MoneyGuidePro, RightCapital), portfolio management (Black Diamond, Orion, Tamarac), trading platforms, and the integration between them. We don't sell you a platform — we help you run the stack you have.
How do you handle client data security for high-net-worth advisor practices?
Stronger-than-typical security controls: full-disk encryption, MFA on every login, conditional access policies, endpoint detection (EDR), network segmentation isolating client data, audit logging with monthly review, encrypted email archiving with proper retention, and BAA-equivalent vendor agreements with everyone who touches data. Plus operational discipline — minimal-access principle, regular access reviews, documented procedures, tested incident response.
Can you integrate with custodian platforms — Schwab Advisor Services, Fidelity Institutional, Pershing, TD Ameritrade?
Yes. We support data feeds between custodians and your CRM/portfolio management software, secure document exchange, single sign-on where supported, and the operational integration that lets your team work efficiently across systems. Custodian relationships have specific security requirements we satisfy.
What does Reg S-P (Privacy of Consumer Financial Information) compliance involve?
Reg S-P requires written privacy policies, opt-out provisions for non-public information sharing, safeguards rule (administrative, technical, physical) compliance. Technical controls: data encryption, access controls, secure disposal procedures, vendor management with privacy obligations. We deliver both the technical controls and policy documentation. New 2024 amendments added incident response notification requirements which we incorporate.
How do you prevent BEC attacks targeting financial advisor wire transfers?
BEC targeting client wire transfers is the #1 cyber threat for advisor practices — attackers impersonate clients to redirect distributions or transfers. Our controls: MFA on all email, anti-spoofing enforcement (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), required out-of-band verification for any wire instruction changes (verified callback procedures), training on detection, and clear policies on what wire requests require which verification steps. We've helped clients reduce BEC exposure to near-zero.
Do you support solo advisors and small RIAs, or only larger firms?
Both. We have solo advisor clients and RIAs with 30+ advisors. Solo-advisor tier delivers full security and compliance at $400-$800/month; mid-size RIA engagements run $2,500-$6,000/month depending on complexity. The compliance work doesn't scale down (FINRA expectations don't change based on AUM), so solo advisors actually benefit MORE from outsourced IT than larger firms with internal staff.
How do you handle business continuity for a financial advisory practice — both regulatory and practical?
Regulatory BCP requirements (FINRA Rule 4370, SEC Rule 206(4)-7): documented written plan, tested annually, addresses key person succession, vendor disruptions, technology failures, and natural disasters. Practical: cloud-first architecture so the office isn't required, tested run-from-anywhere protocols, redundant communications, advisor mobility through encrypted laptops. We deliver both the BCP documentation and the actual operational capability.
